In determining the appropriate retention period for different types of Personal Information, we always consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information in question, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of that Personal Information, the purposes for which we need to process it and whether we can achieve those purposes by other means (in addition to ensuring that we comply with our obligations under applicable law). Where we no longer need your Personal Information, we will anonymize or securely destroy it. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of your Personal Information. Although we exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission and storage of information you provide to us through the Services, no method of transmission over the Internet, and no means of electronic or physical storage, is absolutely secure.
